For five weeks in Spring 2018, 10 teens will attend five shows across genres (three of them at On the Boards) to publish five pieces of responsive criticism. After each show they'll meet with an instructor and an artist in the field to develop their critique for publication. Look for their work on the TeenTix and OtB blogs!
